Blind techniques, which don’t require prior channel knowledge or pilot symbols, are crucial for dynamic environments where self-adaptive synchronization is needed. A key objective of this paper is to provide the readers as well as the industry’s professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the carrier frequency offset (CFO) problem in multicarrier communication systems like orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA), multiple input multiple output (MIMO)-OFDM, and MIMO-SC-FDMA. These waveforms are used in today’s and future wireless communication systems such as wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi), fifth-generation, and sixth-generation. Moreover, this paper also develops a taxonomy of the available solutions to address the CFO issue. We study blind techniques for CFO estimation presented in the recent literature and give potential future directions. We summarize various statistical methods and deep learning algorithms for CFO estimation and emphasize their advantages and limitations. We also incorporate the CFO impact on next-generation wireless systems such as orthogonal time frequency space and reconfigurable intelligent surface-assisted communication systems and provide a broader and deeper knowledge of the area. We provide simulation results of some existing estimators and their performance comparison in terms of mean square error for better understanding. Therefore, this paper is perfectly adapted to provide a comprehensive information source on blind CFO estimation techniques.","PeriodicalId":55029,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials","volume":"27 1","pages":"1-36"},"PeriodicalIF":34.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142362839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method is designed to provide Internet connectivity to remote, rural, or underserved areas where traditional cellular or broadband networks are lacking or insufficient. This paper is a survey providing an in-depth review of multi-satellite Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems as a potential solution for addressing the link budget challenge in direct satellite-to-device communication. Special attention is given to works considering multi-satellite MIMO systems, both with and without satellite collaboration. In this context, collaboration refers to sharing data between satellites to improve the performance of the system. This survey starts by highlighting the industry’s views on the importance of enabling the direct satellite-to-device communications. It follows by explaining several fundamental aspects of satellite communications (SatComs), which are vital prerequisites before investigating the multi-satellite MIMO systems. These aspects encompass satellite orbits, the structure of satellite systems, SatCom links, including the inter-satellite links (ISL) which facilitate satellite cooperation, satellite frequency bands, satellite antenna design, and satellite channel models, which should be known or estimated for effective data transmission to and from multiple satellites. Furthermore, this survey distinguishes itself by providing more comprehensive insights in comparison to other surveys. It specifically delves into the Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) within the channel model section. It goes into detail about ISL noise and ISL channel model, and it extends the ISL section by thoroughly investigating hybrid FSO/RF ISLs. Furthermore, analytical comparisons of simulation results from these works are presented to highlight the advantages of employing multi-satellite MIMO systems.","PeriodicalId":55029,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials","volume":"27 3","pages":"1536-1564"},"PeriodicalIF":34.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142085105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
